Silicone fluid fan clutch or electrically engaged?
Most fluid fan clutches fail 'open'...meaning they do NOT lock up and the max
lock up is 90% or so. Electric clutch is 100% locked (no slippage)
Most fluid coupled has a bi-metal strip wound into a circle that
is hooked up to the switch mechanism on the clutch
If electric, how is the temp sensed and what turns the clutch on?
